50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 313 New Mission

"Thank you for coming so late."

"It's my pleasure, you're the one who's worked hard." Sun Zhiwei took the teacup with both hands and gently placed it on the coffee table.

"Let's not talk about that. How have you been lately?" He didn't believe the liaison office was unaware of his current situation.

But when his superiors asked, he honestly replied, "I opened a small shop and got an appraiser certificate."

"Director, once I start making money, I'll give you some as a gift every month and buy you some good tea."

"I have good tea here, you don't need to offer it as tribute. You're lucky if you can even manage your own affairs."

"Director, please don't look down on me. I'm very good at learning, whether it's military skills or money-making skills."

Deputy Director Han, who had reviewed his file, did not deny this point.

He read the words "suspected photographic memory" in that document several times, especially the words that were highlighted in bold.

He was a star player, but now I can't even find his information.

He wouldn't have known if he hadn't seen it once when screening international students before.

Sun Zhiwei's qualifications to study English in London were questioned initially because of his age.

As a result, they didn't have enough people to screen later, so they added him in. They almost missed out on a talented person.

In just a few years, the other party has soared to great heights, and their level of secrecy is even higher than his salary level.

"Since you're so kind, I'll wait for your good news. My tea supply will all depend on you from now on."

Sun Zhiwei was just being polite, but little did he know that Director Han would really take advantage of the situation and press his advantage.

Now it was too late for him to regret it; after all, the person in charge was in a position of authority, and he dared not offend them. He could only reluctantly agree, as tea was hard to buy in China these days.

However, there are many tea drinkers in Hong Kong, which allows them to secure a significant export share within the mainland. If all else fails, we'll have to contact Mr. Fok.

Actually, the supermarkets here also sell green tea imported from China, but the price is so high that Sun Zhiwei doesn't dare to buy it.

After exchanging a few casual words, the two began to get down to business.

"Let's get down to business, Comrade Sun Zhiwei. A new mission has arrived." Sun Zhiwei immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.

"Here are the mission documents. Take a look for yourself." Deputy Director Han handed over a brown paper bag.

He took it and opened it; inside was another envelope, and the mission details were inside that envelope.

It turns out that two days ago, the United States test-fired a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile with an extremely long range, and the missile was aimed in the direction of our country. The people in China were a little worried and asked to investigate.

There are actually two tasks: one is to find out what Jimmy is thinking, and the other is to check the performance data of that missile.

Sun Zhiwei carefully examined the task, his brows furrowed.

This submarine-launched missile is launched from the seabed. He doesn't know what kind of submarine launched it, nor does he know the missile model, let alone where to find out.

How am I supposed to start this?

The task description didn't even have a time limit, which shows that everyone knows how difficult the task is.

Seeing that Sun Zhiwei was staring at the task list without saying a word, Deputy Director Han sat down next to him and said softly, "Zhiwei, I know this task is very difficult."

"But you are our only trump card. Only you have the ability to complete this task, so the higher-ups have no choice but to pass the mission to us."

"You can't let your emotions get the better of you. If we have the conditions, we'll go for it; if we don't, we'll create them." "In short, can we complete the mission?"

Sun Zhiwei put down the file bag, looked directly at Deputy Director Han, stood up, saluted, and said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, I guarantee to complete the mission."

"Okay, I won't rush you on this task. Just contact me if you need any support."

"Understood. I've noted down the tasks. Please destroy this for me." Sun Zhiwei handed the task sheet back to Deputy Director Han after he finished reading it.

Deputy Director Han took the task sheet and tossed it into the brazier next to the table.

Before long, the documents were lit by the brazier and burned quickly.

Having accepted the task, Sun Zhiwei didn't linger. It was getting late, and Old Han was much older than him. Staying up late was bad for his health, so he wanted Old Han to go home and rest.

Quietly emerging from behind the liaison office, Sun Zhiwei got back on his bicycle and hurried back.

This task cannot be completed in a day or two, but fortunately he knows some information about the task.

The only new submarine-launched ballistic missile that the United States test-fired in January of this year was the UGM-96A, which later became known as the 'Trident'.

It was developed to counter Russia's latest RSM-50 submarine-launched ballistic missile.

The RSM-50 has a range of 8000 kilometers, and can be launched from the ballistic missile submarines' protected area within the Soviet Union, directly striking the US mainland.

The Russian bear of that era was truly a force to be reckoned with worldwide, incredibly powerful, and the entire West was suppressed to the point of being unable to raise its head.

The development of advanced weapons can only follow in the footsteps of the Russians, and the pursuit is extremely painful.

This is why there are increasingly louder calls within the US to win over the University of Tokyo. They're really finding it hard to resist.

If relations with the University of Tokyo improve, firstly, a large portion of the combat power can be released to deal with the Soviet Union, and secondly, the University of Tokyo can be used to tie down a large number of Soviet ground troops.

Meanwhile, the University of Tokyo, facing the massive steel army of the Soviet Union, is under immense pressure and is willing to align itself with the United States to alleviate this pressure.

The two sides are moving towards each other, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are sticking together for warmth.

With a suitable candidate like Jimmy to lead the effort, the construction and diplomatic negotiations could be completed within a year of his taking office.

Jimmy already knows the result of one of the two tasks he was assigned to investigate. He can't wait to fly to Tokyo University tomorrow to start negotiations. All he needs to do is find the evidence.

He also had another clue: the company that developed the 'Trident' was Lockheed Martin, which later became Lockheed Martin.

The C-130 Hercules, U-2, and Patriot missiles were all developed by them.

The headquarters of Lockheed Martin is located in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, which is northwest of Washington, just over 30 kilometers from Sun Zhiwei's small shop.

Back home, Sun Zhiwei lay in bed thinking about how to make a trip to Maryland.

Although it's not far, his shop needs to be open every day, and he can't just disappear without a reason.

He's already prepared to cultivate this identity long-term, so it would be a waste to ruin it for this mission.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't come up with a good solution, so I could only wait.

He has always completed tasks quickly, but he can't keep giving the impression of being omnipotent to the country, otherwise he'll be overwhelmed with work in the future.

He decided to take a break and see if any changes would occur.

If all else fails, we can only go at night and rush back the next morning, but that would be a bit rushed and prone to mistakes.
